A preacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Dana Williams was born in South Charleston, West Virginia and lived there until he was 14 years old, at which time he moved to Cleveland, Ohio. He heard the gospel for the first time at a little store front church called West Side Baptist Church. He visited the church only three times when the Holy Spirit dealt with him concerning salvation. He accepted the Lord on December 29, 1968. He felt the call to preach soon after. At age 19, he moved to Greenville, South Carolina to attend Tabernacle Baptist Bible Institute where Dr. Harold Sightler was pastor. In 1976 Dana took his first pastorate at a little church in the mountains of North Carolina. He was there four years and six months. He then served as pastor of Temple Baptist Church, Newland, North Carolina for eighteen years. In 1999 Dana felt the call of God for full time evangelism. He and his wife, Esther, have ministered in churches preaching and singing in revivals, camp meetings, and conferences all across the mid and eastern United States. Dana and Esther reside in Wedowee, Alabama. They have four children and ten grandchildren.

CURRENT / UPCOMING MEETINGS

September 3, 2010 We will be with Bro. Larry Turbyfill starting Sunday, September 5th. Grace Baptist Church is in Brunswick, Maryland. Services will be Sunday through Wednesday. 10 o'clock am and 6 o'clock pm on Sunday and Monday through Wednesday services start at 7 o'clock pm. Grace Baptist is a very young and unique church, It was started in a store front in Brunswick, just a little town encircled by all the history of the Civil War and just a few miles from Washington, DC and Baltimore. Being faithful to the call of God, Bro. Larry, Sister Sherry and his two beautiful girls left Florida and stepped out in TOTAL Faith and dependence upon the Lord. In just these few short years, ( ten years to be exact), there is now a beautiful building, a Christian School, and a strong testimony of God's grace and power, for the church is full of those who were unchurched, those who were steeped in Catholicism, and those who were hungering for someone to come and start a work in their area. We admire the "stick ability" and faith of this dear Man of God and his sweet family, and look forward to worship time with the "sinners saved by Grace," at Grace Baptist. Please pray for them as they serve the Lord in Brunswick and surrounding areas of West Virginia and Maryland.

CURRENT BIBLE STUDIES

JOSHUA

	CHAPTER SEVENTEEN Learning to Live in the Land BE METICULOUS Sometimes it pays to understand the terms of a documented inheritance so one will get all that has been willed to them. We do not want to leave the fine print in someone's hands to interpret, because they may not be as precise in the matter as you would be. Let us look at some little words in this chapter and see how big an effect those words had on the tribe of Manasseh's inheritance. I. LOOK FOR THE CONGREGATING WORD (lets you know you are a part) The little word "ALSO" in verse one and two lets Manasseh know they were included in the inheritance. Joshua 17:1,2 There was ALSO a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph; to wit, for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan. There was ALSO a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families. Romans 4:24 But for us ALSO, to whom it shall be imputed ... Romans 5:22 By whom ALSO we have access by faith Romans 8:17 ... that we may be ALSO glorified together. Ephesians 1:11 In whom ALSO we have obtained an inheritance ... Aren't you glad you were included in the inheritance! II. LOOK FOR THE CONCLUSIVE WORDS The word "THEREFORE" in verse four was a reference to what Moses had said about the daughters of Zelophehad. This word made sure ladies too, were included in the inheritance. Joshua 17:3, 4 But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. THEREFORE according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father When we see the word "THEREFORE" consider what it is there for. The word is a reference to what has been done that brings about what is. Note these wonderful verses that show us what we have as a result of what God has done. Romans 5:11 THEREFORE being justified by faith ... Romans 8:1 There is THEREFORE now no condemnation ... Ephesians 2:19 Now THEREFORE ye are no more strangers and foreigners ... III. LOOK FOR THE CONNECTING WORDS The word "AND", in verse five, lets Mannasseh know that there is more on the other side of Jordan. It is like saying, "and don't forget there is more." Joshua 17:5 AND there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side Jordan; Romans 1:16 ... AND also to the Greek. Romans 5:17 ... AND of the gift of righteousness ... Romans 8:17 ... AND joint-heirs with Christ ... Romans 8:28 AND we know ... Romans 15:13 ... joy AND peace ... Ephesians 1:18 ... AND what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, ... Ephesians 1:19 AND what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward. Don't stop now, you may have just come to the AND of your possessions of Christ! IV. LOOK FOR THE CONDITIONAL WORDS In verses fifteen and sixteen we find the conditional word, "IF". The children of Joseph claim to be a great people and want more land. Joshua in essence says to them, "IF you are a great people, and IF you want more than you have, IF you will take it from the enemy..." IF they would go up and clear the mountain and fight the enemy, they could inherit more land. The optimum word is "IF". Sometimes there will be some work on your part, if the inheritance is to be experienced in it's entirety. James said, "faith without works is dead." Joshua 17: 15,16 And Joshua answered them, IF thou be a great people, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, IF mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee. And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of Bethsean and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel. Romans 4:24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, IF we believe on him ... Romans 8:13 ... but IF ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body ... Colossians 1:23 IF ye continue in the faith grounded and settled ... Hebrews 4:3 ...IF they shall enter into my rest: ... Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: IF any man hear my voice ... Simply put, we learn from Joshua chapter seventeen, grammar is a vital concern when understanding the will and testament of our inheritance. Let us read His Word "METICULOUSLY" to see what is ours in Christ and what the Lord would have us to do to enjoy our inheritance.
